三、釋權實者。疾義雖多，原其正意不出權實。權是諸佛法身菩薩無疾現疾，實是九道眾生實有因果患累。若從能化，應前權後實。文云「是疾寧可忍不」，又云「有疾菩薩云何調伏其心」。若從所化，即前實後權，故淨名云「以眾生病故則我有病」。今約所化為次，故前明實疾。略用四義分別：一辨因果疾相、二解釋、三通別、四約土重輕。初疾相者，瘵礙色心故名為疾，亦名為病亦名為患。言因疾者，即是因中四分瘵礙心神致諸惱患，即是心病，煩惱是因故說為因。果疾者，感四大身，同篋性異，互起增損瘵礙色身，即是身疾，酬煩惱因故言果疾。

Third, explaining the provisional and the real: Although the meanings of illness are many, investigating their primary import, they do not exceed the provisional and the real. The provisional is the buddhas and dharmakāya bodhisattvas, who have no illness, manifesting illness. The real is the beings of the nine realms really possessing the distress and afflictions of cause and fruit. If viewed from the perspective of the one able to transform, it should be the provisional first and the real after. The text says: "Is this illness bearable?" and again says: "How should an ill bodhisattva subdue his mind?" If viewed from the perspective of those transformed, it is the real first and the provisional after; hence Vimalakīrti says: "Because sentient beings are ill, therefore I am ill." Now, taking the order according to those transformed, the real illness is explained first. Four points are briefly used to distinguish it: first, distinguishing the marks of causal and fruitional illness; second, explanation; third, general and specific; fourth, according to the weight in different lands. Regarding the first, the marks of illness: afflicting and obstructing form and mind is called illness, also called sickness, also called ailment. Speaking of causal illness: this is the four divisions in the cause afflicting and obstructing the mind and spirit, causing various distresses and ailments; this is mental illness; because afflictions are the cause, it is spoken of as causal. Fruitional illness: receiving a body of the four great elements, which share the same basket but differ in nature, mutually increasing and diminishing, afflicting and obstructing the physical body; this is bodily illness; because it repays the cause of afflictions, it is called fruitional illness.
